Go 15/45

I've been running 15/45 for over 7K miles. 60 mph is 4k rpm, about the same as the I4 liter bikes. I've never had the bike wheelie unexpectedly or display any other deviant behavior. Go for it ---

thanks for the headsup, on my quad im not too wqorried, i went with an ebay setup and its been abused pretty hard and has laughed at me so im good there, but for the bike ill go with a better quality setup. just messaged a guy on here looks like im getting his 15t front, he changed to a different chain and it no longer fits so ill grab a good quality rear and be all set

I've thought about doing this for a long time but am on the fence. I don't really find the hawk has lots of pull or get up and go at all. It would be nice if I could get a crap load more pull out of it....Is this really upgrade really worth it??
